Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
